Examining the files in the runtime batch folder

When you start a new batch, Datacap creates a runtime batch folder within the application batches folder.

About this task

The name of the folder matches the numeric batch identifier that Datacap generates automatically. In this example, 20100332.001 is the runtime batch folder.

C:\Datacap\TravelDocs\batches\20100332.001

Datacap stores all of the files that are associated with this batch in the runtime batch folder.

Procedure

  1. Open the application's most recent batch folder (C:\Datacap\TravelDocs\batches\< batch_id>). The folder contains the following files:
    File Description
    TM00000*.tif A copy of each of the original sample image files (copied from the images folder).
    VScan.script A file to aid in debugging.
    VScan.xml The runtime document hierarchy that is generated by the VScan task profile.
    Vscan_rrs.log The log file that is generated by the VScan task profile. The log file contains detailed descriptions of all the actions that are started by the task profile and is useful for troubleshooting. For more information, see Datacap log files.
    PageID.xml A copy of the runtime document hierarchy ready for use by the next task profile in the workflow (PageID).
  2. Open the VScan.xml file in any XML editor or text editor.
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="..\..\dco.xsl"?>
    <B id="20100332.001">
       <V n="TYPE">TravelDocs</V>
       <V n="LAST_RR_TPROFILE">VScan:m:eRun</V>
       <P id="TM000001">
          <V n="TYPE">Other</V>
          <V n="STATUS">49</V>
          <V n="IMAGEFILE">tm000001.tif</V>
          <V n="ScanSrcPath">c:\datacap\traveldocs\images\images_page_01.tif</V>
       </P>
       <P id="TM000002">
          <V n="TYPE">Other</V>
          <V n="STATUS">49</V>
          <V n="IMAGEFILE">tm000002.tif</V>
          <V n="ScanSrcPath">c:\datacap\traveldocs\images\images_page_02.tif</V>
       </P>
       etc.

    The VScan.xml file, 20100332.001 contains the runtime batch ID. The file also indicates that a Page Type of Other is initially assigned to all pages. A STATUS of 49 indicates that the page scanned successfully.

  3. Close the file.
